I went to a farm auction Saturday. There were about 100 guns there, all kinds in all kinds of condition. There were four 8' tables of long guns and two large glass display cases of all types of hand guns and accesories. Some of the old relic guns were frozen or rusted shut and there were about 300 people milling around and trying to open and inspect the guns. I had just walked out back of the barn to look at the equipment when I heard the report. It seems a guy cocked and pulled the trigger on a .410 pistol. It took one side of a glass topped display case out. One little girl got a small glass cut on her face and a guy standing there got grazed on his side, just breaking the skin. There were some really nice guns there, and some really careless people. Including auctioneers and owners.[V] There were also probably 200 boxes and lots of loose ammunition in an open case on the same table as the firearms.[:0]
The last gun show I attended had a AD_UD too. I had just left a few minutes before. It seems that a lady was wanting to know about a certain models trigger pull. The dealer pulled his carry gun, dropped the magazine and handed it to her and said "Here try mine." She aimed it at the floor and bounced one into the concession area with no hits. [xx(] I guess it got really quiet there for awhile, and I heard he was asked to load up and leave.

Old? First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to pull your zipper up; then you forget to pull your zipper down.
